It's early in the morning, and it's just dawn.
Captain Zhou pulled up the bell rope under the big willow tree in front of the brigade headquarters, and then the "ding, clang, clang..." bells rang throughout the brigade.
The shock caused the noisy sparrows in the tree to run away.
At this moment, people who heard the bells, men and women, old and young, as long as they could work in the fields, came one after another from their homes and gathered in front of the brigade headquarters.
It was the first time that Xu Youyou got up so early. It was only half past three.
It’s not even so early to pour the chamber pot!
Xu Youyou squinted next to Zhou Yao and didn't care how Captain Zhou arranged her work. Anyway, with Zhou Yao here, she dozed off with peace of mind.
"How about I tell Captain Zhou that you don't have to go to work?" Zhou Yao looked at Xu Youyou dotingly.
His little daughter-in-law doesn’t go to the fields much. The autumn harvest is much harder than usual. Can she bear it?
Zhou Yao was worried and distressed.
Xu Youyou shook his head, "No, I can do it. If I don't go to work, I will become a special person, and the impact will be bad."
Xu Youyou was not the only one to doze off. Many people haven't woken up yet.
Wang Zhenzhu fell asleep holding the Queen Mother’s arm.
The educated youths were also sleepy, but when Li Wan'er saw Xu Youyou coming, she immediately became energetic.
Xu Youyou has been here for almost two years, and she can count on her fingers the number of days she has worked in the fields.
She didn’t believe she could hold on during the autumn harvest!
As long as Xu Youyou cannot persist, she will mercilessly accuse Xu Youyou of being indolent, thinking that she is holding back the entire team, and even criticizes her for not being enterprising and not taking the collective interests into consideration. !
After the autumn harvest is completely completed, she plans to ask Captain Zhou to treat Xu Youyou as a typical negative teaching material and launch a profound criticism and education campaign on her ideological and moral character.
With Xu Youyou's character, no matter how good she is in exams, the villagers will not let such a person teach their children!
Li Wan'er thought about it, and couldn't help but reveal a sinister sneer at the corner of her mouth.
"Captain Zhou! I have an opinion!" Li Wan'er raised her hands and shouted.
As soon as Captain Zhou heard her voice, his heart couldn't help but "thump", and a bad premonition came into his heart.
Frowning slightly, the appearance of this woman is always accompanied by all kinds of troubles, and this time is probably no exception.
But he still asked as usual: "Li Zhiqing, what do you think?"
Li Wan'er said unceremoniously: "Captain, Xu Youyou is an educated youth, so he should join our educated youth team. That’s right!”
Sure enough! He knew it!
How can she monitor Xu Youyou if she doesn’t join their team? Criticize her!
Xu Youyou, who was dozing off:...fuck!
She is already married, why should she join the educated youth team?
Obviously, this Li Wan'er wants to cause trouble again!
Zhou Yao's expression darkened, "If my wife doesn't follow me, what will she do with you? Are you her mother or her breast milk?"
Xu Youyou smiled and reminded Said: "She is my aunt! Aunt Li, I am married!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.
Xu Jianshe couldn’t understand why Li Wan’er wanted Xu Youyou to come to their group. Xu Youyou’s small body would definitely lower the efficiency of their entire group!
Xu Youyou called her Aunt Li? !
How can she be so old? She and Xu Youyou are of the same year!
Li Wan'er's face was livid, a surge of anger welled up in her heart, and she was about to burst out, but she suppressed it again and forced a smile.
"Yuyou, even if you get married, you are still an educated youth."
Zhou Chen also smiled.
"Li Zhiqing! My second sister-in-law is married to my second brother, so she naturally belongs to the group of villagers. There is no problem with our family!"
Li Wan'er still refused to give up, " Xu Youyou can't change her identity as an educated youth, so she has to join our group, otherwise she will destroy the internal unity of our educated youth!"
Xu Jianshe pulled Li Wan'er's sleeve and signaled. She said no more.
But Li Wan'er ignored her and continued to persuade Captain Zhou to assign Xu Youyou to their group, saying that Xu Youyou wanted to make progress together with them.

Zhou’s mother had long disliked Li Wan’er and targeted her second daughter-in-law everywhere.
"You fart! How can a good married woman not treat her husband's family as her own? You are trying to destroy the internal unity of our brigade!"
What Zhou's mother said As soon as it came out, those who married educated youths stopped doing so.
Li Wan'er is not only targeting Xu Youyou, but also them. She is instigating their daughters-in-law not to share the same ideals with their family!
"Captain Zhou! What Li Zhiqing says makes no sense! She only values the unity of the zhiqing and ignores the unity of our brigade! Why do the zhiqing go to the countryside? Isn't it just to be with the villagers? Let’s build a new era and a new countryside together?”
“That’s right!” Everyone agreed with this aunt’s words.
"I think educated youth should be assigned to each of our village groups, so that we can help them adapt to the autumn harvest work as soon as possible and make progress together!"
Villagers, please say, He said nothing, but Li Wan'er's retort at this time was completely drowned out by the crowd's shouts.
In the end, under the decision of the brigade leader, the educated youths were evenly distributed to villagers’ small schools.Each group basically has four educated youths.
The Xu Jianshe brothers were assigned to the Goudan group.
Goudan felt better after seeing the good team members who used to pick up shit.
Li Wan'er was assigned to Xu Youyou's group, which was to her liking.
But Li Wan'er couldn't stop laughing. She seemed to have offended the entire educated youth community.
Many of those educated youths cannot lift with their shoulders or hold with their hands. In the group of educated youths, everyone is at the same level. The work is a bit tiring, but no one rushes you or teaches you.
But it’s different when you come to the village group. The villagers are all good at work. If you slow down a little and hold them back, who cares what you do. Swearing is common. Son.
The first thing to be harvested in this autumn harvest is corn.
There are two people working together in each row. The person in front first cuts off the corn stalks with a sickle, and the person behind carries the corn stalks to the long table and arranges them neatly, and then breaks off the corn ears and transports them to the table. The team's yard is concentrated for drying.
Others just cut off the corn stalks, but Zhou Yao not only cut it off, but also carried it to the ridge of the field for Xu Youyou to break.
Xu Youyou only needs to sit at the head of the field and break off the ears of corn.
Li Wan'er was not so good. Zhou Hongjun cut off the corn stalk and ignored it. She could only carry it to the Long table by herself.
After running back and forth a few times, Li Wan'er was out of breath. The weather was so hot that her face turned red. The fine hairs on the corn stalks stuck to her skin, making it more itchy the more she scratched it.
Li Wan'er looked at Wang Jinyou for help. Wang Jinyou was submerged in the corn field and did not look over.
Look at Xu Jianshe again. Xu Jianshe was chased by his aunt behind him in the field on the other side. He was like a robot cutting corn stalks. He couldn't even take a break. If he took a breath, he would be scolded.
From time to time Goudan would come over and curse a few more times.
"Xu Jianshe, please be smarter! You can't even hold a knife, or are you not a man?"
"Xu Jianguo, the autumn harvest is already here, you still want to rest? Hurry up! If you don’t cut your wrists with these corns today, you won’t be able to eat!”
…
Li Wan’er had no way to ask for help, so she turned around and saw Zhou Yao carefully picking up the thick corn stalks. The person next to Xu Youyou looked as if she was afraid that these poles would hurt her.
Li Wan'er was filled with hatred. Emotions such as envy, jealousy, anger, unwillingness, and resentment surged into her heart. She clenched her fists and dug her nails into her flesh without even realizing it.
Then she turned her attention to Zhou Hongjun, straightened her appearance, slowly came behind Zhou Hongjun, stopped, took a deep breath, and then used an extremely gentle, as if A voice like the spring breeze blowing on his face softly called: "Brother Red Army..."
Zhou Hongjun was working wholeheartedly and did not hear Li Li at all.Wan'er is calling him.
"Brother Red Army..." Li Wan'er called again.
Zhou Hongjun still didn’t hear it.
Li Wan'er called him several times, but he ignored her. Li Wan'er's face turned red with anger.
I don’t know if Zhou Hongjun really didn’t hear it, or if he heard it and pretended not to hear it!
While breaking off the ears of corn, Xu Youyou quietly looked towards Li Wan'er, suppressing a smile.
"Zhou Hongjun!" Li Wan'er shouted angrily.
Zhou Hongjun finally heard it this time and looked back at her, "What's wrong with you?"
Li Wan'er was furious, but she still said with a smile: "Brother Hongjun, this I can't carry the corn stalk, can you help me carry it?"
Zhou Hongjun was shocked when she called him "Brother of the Red Army", and he almost cut his leg without holding the sickle firmly.
He frowned and looked at her thin body, as if a gust of wind could blow her down. Then he looked at the distance from here to the Longmei, and finally said decisively: "No!"
